However, just to be safe, itвЂ™s better to keep phantom power deactivated for ribbon mics. As long as everything is wired correctly, phantom power does not affect dynamic mics, at all. But what if you want to use a dynamic and condenser mics at the same time, and thereвЂ™s only a global switch for phantom power? ThatвЂ™s no problem, really. moving coil and ribbon mics, donвЂ™t require phantom power (a rare exception being вЂњactiveвЂќ ribbon mics). Can Phantom Power Harm Dynamic Microphones?Дynamic microphones, i.e. Always connect your mic directly to the XLR mic input. Also, puttting mic inputs on a patchbay is not recommended.

Any device in-between will likely block phantom power and/or degrade the sound quality. Also, never put anything between your mic and your microphone input. Hot plugging while P48 is already activated can harm your mics. Some audio interfaces donвЂ™t have a hardware switch, at all instead you must activate phantom power via their control software.ДЄs a general rule: Always connect your mic(s) first, before you turn on phantom power. Sometimes there is a global switch for all microphone inputs more expensive devices often come with individual P48 switches for each input. All you have to do is press the button labeled вЂњP48вЂќ, вЂњ48VвЂќ, or вЂњPhantom PowerвЂќ. Just about any microphone input, these days, is equipped with phantom power. The international standard is P48 phantom power (a Neumann invention, by the way). Condenser microphones require external power for their internal electronics.
